(OTC BB: JNNE), announced today it has entered into a major Internet Kiosk supply agreement with Info Touch Technologies, a leading manufacturer of Internet Kiosks and innovative developer of Web surfing and security software located in Burnaby, British Columbia. Jones Naughton's initial contract calls for Info Touch Technologies (VSE: IFT) to build 50 customized Internet Kiosks for Jones Naughton's GoOn-line Division, 20 of which are to be delivered to GoOn-line within the next 30 days. These first 20 Internet Kiosks will be immediately forwarded to recently announced Internet Kiosk sites in Texas, Arizona and California. Info Touch Technologies is a leading Internet Kiosk developer, specializing in providing user-friendly access to Internet facilities in public environments.

In addition to basic Internet features, GoOn-line's new customized Internet Kiosks (built by Info Touch) will incorporate ready-to-go features such as voice and video e-mail. As access to wider bandwidth increases, additional features including IP telephony and video conferencing (via a built-in handset and camera) will be instantly fully functional, allowing Jones Naughton to stay at the front of the public access Internet field. Mr. Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of Info Touch Technologies sees a great future in the new relationship: "Both of our companies are committed to public access Internet. We are also developing a level of understanding not found in the industry today. GoOn-line's contact base enables Info Touch to quickly address the Internet surfing public's needs. We appreciate the confidence Jones Naughton has in our design of Surfnet(TM) Internet Kiosks, and the fortitude of our Netlock technology."
